7. Trisomic tests with unlinked genes. Trisomic tests for chromosome 6 and the following genes wore negative: zb, gl6, gl9 (trisomic plants had an excess of gl progeny as compared with the 2n), and v9. A seedling dwarf (one of Stadler's designated temporarily as ds-3) may be in chromosome 6 by this trisomic test.

Linkage data with other factors were obtained along with the tests for linkage in chromosome 6. The possible linkages are as follows:

*This silky is one that appeared in an F2 of a single cross here.
**This tw was linked in coupling with the gls-3, one of Stadler's mutants.

 

Negative results by the χ2 for independence test were obtained for the following linkage tests: zb with lg; ws with Y Pl B rg; gls-1 with B lg nl?; nl? with B lg; ds-3 with su, pr Y colorless aleurone (9:7). gl6 with Y; gl9 with Y bt? and zg3 with Y and colorless aleurone (3:1).
